I will close the GingerBreak post now since most commentsare meanwhile about particular versions or not related toAndroid OS at all. It turned out that GingerBreak workson Froyo, Gingerbread and Honeycomb. For some versions itneeds minor fixes like in the detecting-phase but overallit is a good and stable softbreak. Thanks to those whosent patches or test reports.Smartphone security and Android security in particular seemsto be the new hype (WTF?! HTTP is sending data inplaintext!?) and therefore it is about time tofall back to monitor-only mode. If you ever see a # on anAndroid device in future, always remember who was pioneer-ingexploit development on that platform and remember whereall these spin-offs came from.

I have had the choice of writing scientific papers about securityand exploits, or to code exploits. And I chose the latter.
